Problem with VR Tweaks

Hi,

I've successfully installed VR 2.5, CRT animation & the Power mode.

Following several restarts due to other activities, I've noticed that CRT animation has disappeared and I'd to reinstalled it. Later on I've also noticed the power mode is causing for some weird FC and restarts.

Let me know if you have any advise or looking for some more information.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Those tweak are both in android.policy.jar. Pick one of THESE mods and you can choose tweaks you want to use by renaming those folders.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ole12:
CRT mod and power mod does NOT work together if you install from VRtweak.'

Follow this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17712163&postcount=274

It worked for me.

Cannot download files via stock browser even with downloadallfiles.apk installed. Dolphin is doing well. Master Pulser youre the best anyway.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runebinder:
Unfortunately I'm going to have to go back to 2.4.2. Orbital is way to unstable unstable under 2.5. Just done a full wipe, cache wipe and reflashed, tested Orbital before putting any other apps back on and it's still the same.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Number 2 should be available already on VRTweaks, as camera was one of the first I think I changed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A$h x:
I really think VR 2.4.2 + ninphetamine 2.0.5 + KH3 modem is the gold standard for battery life. Check out my screen caps for proof - I know my phone does not get hammered usage-wise, but still almost a week standby for such a powerful phone is doing pretty damn good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
6 days?? You kidding me. So you just keep the phone on your couch all day. Huh.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
i believe it is a stock browser limitation. install this and it will be fine.

i swear it wasn't on vrtweaks earlier, but i see it now, thanks. that's odd :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah I added it - forgot to set it to visible :p

Install it again, as I just modified it to prevent music from being stopped by the camera too :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
ah, at least i know my eyes wasn't playing tricks on me :p

hope you could do the no increasing ring when you get the time. thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p5x:
Any luck with VR 2.5 lite version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Lol @ ppl getting 6 days, dont you use the phone?

No matter what rom/kernel/tweaks/modem etc, your battery will drain between 3-4hrs screen on time on auto brightness. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] soraxd:
since the link still doesn't work from moble, has anyone uploaded a mirror?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bloomfield87:
Nice, cheers :).

I've only just got enough posts to post in this forum, so I can finally say thanks for the ROM, been using it since a week after I got my SGS2, and thanks for the tweaks/fonts etc. :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iinga:
I found that one of the mirrors was down, so i kept clicking and eventually got one that worked
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrgrey1701:
Sorry if I missed it but is there an answer to this problem? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
There should be a build.prop edit possible for this
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spelaben:
Woot, did anyone have the chance to test the new version yet?

It just sucks when you can not see any major progress on the battery life release to release. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
may i ask, why people want to disable noise cancelling feature? i thought we can hear people more clearly if its enabled no?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fleau77:
Hello, it appears that with some covers, noise cancelling creates echo...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndyCr15:
Forgive me, it may have been asked but I don't see it, are there any themes for this ROM yet? I've put on the circle mod but would love an all over, subtle theme :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] anupam_luv:
I just installed vr2.5 by wiping evrythng but after installing its showing baseband version as KH3 and not KI4... tried installing it twice.

Is there anythng I need to do in order to get the baseband ver as KI4?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
By flashing the bootloader I'm guessing.

It says in the OP that it's not a good idea to do that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
Try using opera mobile and before clicking on the download link go to settings, privacy and clear cache.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
Baseband is the modem. Flashing VR doesn't change the modem. You'll have to.flash to modem seperately. The KI4 modem is KI1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mekrel:
VilliamROM never includes the modem (baseband).

So unless you flash the modem separately, the baseband won't be updated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] exgtigsr:
suddenly something now works properly with KI4...

the photoframe widget would always reset with a reboot.. but now the picture you choose will remain there even after reboot...yeay!!!:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] King Shady:
Hey guys sorry if this has been asked- but I am on the latest build and was wondering if thrre was a zip to enable home button wakeup. Any help? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
You mean disable? Home button should wake up already... It does here at least.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Anyone fancy VR3.0 based on the 2.3.5 leak? Might put it on IRC (#villainrom on freenode)

Thanks to samfirmware/leaker :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jobias:
If you think it will give a performance or battery life improvement, then yes, but I'm fine with 2.5 too atm. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] King Shady:
Hmm weird. I did flash a CRT update which maybe disabled it. I also installed a home button lagfix, maybe that broke it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Would love to test it out but not bothered 2.5 running great.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A$h x:
Yes please! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kryptoner:
waiting impatiently for this!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
Sure, why not :-) ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Intratech:
It does give improved battery life and for sure the performance has improved in games compared to XWKI4... not that it was poor before.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK let's go for this...

I'm gonna leave 2.5 as the current "stable", and 3.0 beta as the "bleeding edge"

That does mean no tweaks are guaranteed available for 3.0 yet - there are none right now, perhaps some tomorrow. You can post any you find/make :)

Gonna post it up just now :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Backed up and ready to go
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Check the first few posts for a new link :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Pulser can you link modem as well? Thanks. Downloading :-)

Don't worry about this found it on leomars thread.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
So far so good feels smooth and fast as usual, feels more responsive and even touchwiz flies.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
There isn't a modem.bin file in here...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm nice one :) Am I going blind then :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Intratech:
The package I have has the XXKI3 modem. Don't know about any other package mate.:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah ok cool :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Would someone mind making a cwm zip or just posting the modem.bin of the newest radio? I would but im away from pc at work atm :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Cangir:
What is new on 2.3.5 :/ battery fixed ???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Bug fixes, memory leak issues, but as far as samsung goes we don't know, no change logs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bloomfield87:
I guess this should stop all the idiots that complain about how this ROM doesn't get updated (I agree with pulser/sensible people on this :)), 2 updates in like 3(?) days :D, strange how when there's actually a worthwhile update the ROM that doesn't get updated seems to be the first (or one of the first) to be updated :p.

Will wait until people get the tweaks I like done before flashing I think since I only flashed 2.5 yesterday (or the day before, can't remember now :p) and I cba doing it again right now :p.

Does this require a wipe since it's a different Android version btw (I'm an Android noob, forgive me if this seems like a stupid question :p)? And I take it this still doesn't touch the bootloader, so I'm still able to use the jig in the future if required? (Atleast I think that was the reason I saw given earlier in the thread?).

Cheers for the quick update pulser :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
Here you go...As always flash at your on risk...:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A$h x:
Mmm yes, does VR 3.0 beta still allow us to "get jiggy with it"? I'd like to retain the USB jig functionality if possible.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mekrel:
Hey Pulser,

Hope you don't mind me asking this here, seeing as you're the first to offer a KI3 ROM I thought you may have come across this, or have a solution.

I'm trying to deodex the stock KI3 ROM, but I'm struggling on Maps.odex and VoiceSearch.odex.

java -jar "C:\Users\Mekerz\Documents\Android Files\GT-I9100\Too
ls\Smali-decompiler\bin\baksmali.jar" -d ../framework -c core.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:am.jar:android.test.runner.jar
:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:com.samsung.device.jar:core-junit.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:javax
.obex.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:seccamera.jar:sechardware.jar:sec_feature.jar:sqlite-jdbc.jar:svc.jar:twframework.jar -x Maps.odex

Returns the following error:

Never had this issue before on other stock ROM's that I've deodexed :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Should be ok without a wipe, but backup first just incase.

Also this rom will never touch the bootloader or modem(radio/baseband) so you will be fine still using the jig.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bloomfield87:
Cool, I figured as much but thought it best to check since I was posting anyways, cheers :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No rom I post will ever touch your bootloader, so you are safe
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Get jiggy with it, i like that! But yes, you may jig on down to the tune of the jiggy beatz! VR is bootloader safe baby.

Thanks a lot! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Pulser, never inappropriately touching poor ikkle bootloaders!

Beware, he will get all up in your system partition though!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah I noticed that... Normally google apps are not odexed. I replaced these two with the previous versions.

Maps is updated via market anyway, and I see no updates offered. Not sure about voice search... I don't know of any updates though for it.

But google stuff is not usually odexed which is strange.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lol yeah. Nothing changes, no jig issues, or anything you get if you flash bootloaders...

I just have to laugh at people who whine of no updates, when nothing was worth it :) And then KI4 was the first out by at least a day or 2 (and I don't know if there are any others yet on it)

But KI3 seems interesting...

No wipe needed either
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mekrel:
Thanks Buddy, I'll just do as you said and use previous deodexed versions and if I do find any updates on the Market, I'll integrate them into the ROM using Titanium Backup and then odex them later.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] itshotinhere:
I'm getting a 404 on the download link for 2.5. Anyone else having problems?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
a fresh install of VR3 don't have superuser preinstalled.

I got it off the market and all's gravy, thought you should know ;)

Also....

Blue overscroll as default!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bloomfield87:
Works fine for me, try http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VillainROM-2.5.0-signed.zip for direct download :).

You guys should check out Siyah kernel

I am getting pretty amazing battery life from it - lost about 2-3% overnight 8 hours

Currently using the beta 3 version 1.7 - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=729956&d=1316906376
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
The blue overscroll is everywhere, and on all sides, left, right, top and bottom.

And I was just starting to love the bouncy effect
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Overscroll glow is a way around apples patents on the whole elastic bounce back overscroll

I personally like the glow more than the bounce!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Damn, blue OS is now default by sammy?

Totally ruining my green look....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Changing the glow colour isn't hard, you can do it via the uot kitchen, changing between glow and bounce is the harder part.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Does the tweaks in my signature work with VR 3 yet?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bloomfield87:
Well, I'm busy doing a CWM backup now, seem I couldn't wait :p.

Edit - does KI3 have the same fonts as KI4? If it does I'm guessing I'm fine flashing the old fonts .zip that pulser made for 2.5 since it only changes fonts?

Edit Again - fonts didn't change, so don't need to worry about that :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] exgtigsr:
hehehe... this leak must be good to warrant an instant VR.... very good indeed! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
I dont like how the widgit pages have no end, reverts back to page 1. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bloomfield87:
As someone else said, Superuser needs to be reinstalled from the market.

After reinstalling it still granted permissions and stuff but the actual app itself didn't open. Uninstalled and reinstalled it and it's all working as it should now though :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Decided to stick with my 2.5 Villain ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tcortinag:
I tried VR 2.5, ROM seems ok, but after installing VRTweaks I'm having randoms reboots, extended menu not working, etc... did the whole thing again, and same...I did a full wipe before installing, am I missing something?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
You must be doing something wrong,

What tweaks?

The link in my signature to APM, CRT, OS and Circle battery work fine on my 2.5 VR. :)

Overclocked and under volted, runs sweet - no FC's.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bloomfield87:
Did you install both parts of the extended menu? Part 1+Lag Fix Part 2 worked fine for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gtizon:
Ill be flashing VRom 2.5 in a bit. I have a few questions.

1 can i flash other kernels like Speedmod?

2. Are there other tweaks or fixes that I have to flash

for 2.5 to work fine or bugfree?

Thanks im new and just want to be on safe side. :) thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
go for the 3.0 version mate.its 2.3.5 not sure whats new but its the latest ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Yes you can use other kernels, just not supported.

Works find as is, but there are tweaks in vrtweaks app you can use
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
Wow, waking up on the sunday morning to see that there is a VR 3.0 !!!! :-)

hmmm, what to do now ? To flash or not to flash, that is the question

Hopefully a lot of mods and the VR Tweaks will be updated to work with 2.3.5 as I cannot go without.

Pulser : Can you please add a disabling increased ring (without canceling noice cancelation) as future tweak ?

I am going to follow this thread throughout the day to see how it develops. Might flash it after all
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
- Remove 15% battery limit on camera

- Remove 10% battery limit on video

- advanced power mod + home button lagfix

- make mms support bln.

after have all this i'm ready for 3.0! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
Have people had success with the KI1 Modem as I was advised to use it to fix my problem with the 3G not showing up. I flashed the phone using Odin and the Baseband is still unknown...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] happiboi:
Flashed KI1 with VR2.5 and have had no issues at all, if anything it's been same/better than KH3 for me :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If you can show me a thread for that with smali changes, I can figure it out :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
How did you flash it using VR2.5 if I may ask?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ghmail2:
I do not have root after flashing 3.0
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Eddiemc:
You should have root, it's just missing superuser app.. You can download it from the market, (I had to do it twice) and everything should be fine.

Sent from my mind using telepathy
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Correct :)

I did this since some people may have superuser 3 beta version, and want to use it for the superuser elite features...

Makes more sense for you to download it from the market or website and get the one you want :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Eddiemc:
The "record on low battery" and "play music whilst taking photo" mod in villain tweaks, does it include the function to take photos with the volume buttons? If not, can you add that too?

I'd love to be able to snap shots with the volume buttons without having my music stop when opening the camera app;-)

Thanks mate

Hi as i#m getting no help in Jkay#s mod - thread i#m asking here:

installed JKay's deodexed 10.3 mod for KI4 Roms via CWM

-> got all his settings and so but my status bar is missing!

tried to flash the restore but no succsess

as stted in post 2166 by ipsi200 the problem lies in the quckpanel_quick_settings.xml so i replaced it but no effect - status/notification bar still missing?

WHat to do now? INstall VR 2.5 all over again? I don#t care for the Jkay mod anymore - i just want my statusbar back!!!!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
No you are getting all techie for me :-)

I do not even know what smali changes are ?

I do know what small changes are ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Hi Pulser sorry for the question...all the current tweaks in 2.5 do you think as you said before, by tomorrow most of them will be working for V.R 3

and if i can find any new tweaks can i suggest them here? thanks man you and your team are great...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] globalgpj:
What if this is my first android rom to install fm the stock rom. Is there a wipe option that comes up when installing?

If I wipe my system should I then install a modem package afterwards or does v3 contain a modem package within it, which can be used for all regions?

Sorry for the details, I just want to get it right.

Or should I wait for the final release of v3 and don't install the beta version ?

I have a stock rom fm India and may soon be in Australia.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I don't know. As I have to go through each tweak applying it to the new version of the file...

If you come up with a tweak idea, you need to at least have a good idea of how it would be implemented... I can figure most out, but if it's obscure, you're gonna need to know which APK it's in :)

I spent several hours perfecting my "standard" tweaks for this ROM, so it can be time consuming to find new methods for requests...

But to answer question, perhaps some will go up today... I don't know. Might start on a few.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If this is your first ROM, try without a wipe. If it won't boot, go back into recovery and do a factory reset.

There is no modem included, as VR never includes modems or other "potentially dangerous" things. You can install it via heimdall or odin.

There's no issue with the beta version, it's safe to use.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks buddy...I will have a little think and i get back to you if i find any..thanks again..:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] globalgpj:
yes, this is my first rom on SG2. I am using a stock rom.

excuse my ignornace, but will this rom work without any additional installations, or is a regional modem file necessary, or does the rom has sufficent files to recognise a local carrier.

Thanks for yr quick response.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
It will recognise carriers fine :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Also... I've finally decided it's time to automate VRTweaks. This should make it much faster for them to be available in future...

This should make 99% of the VRTweaks creation fully automated... Perhaps I'll even extend this to that in future, the entire creation of VR can be automated :)

So if you have any tweaks you want to include, and have the suitable technical details, post them ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] globalgpj:
Just one last question.

Does yr beta ver, contain yr standard tweaks?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
